Parachute Jump
Ever dreamt of doing a parachute jump but never quite got the courage to actually go for it?
Well, we have the perfect reason for you to take the plunge: you can do it to help raise much needed funds for The Big Issue Foundation!
We are looking for people from all over the country to make a sponsored parachute jump on our behalf and in return we are willing to pay for it!
There are three different types of parachute jump for you to choose from. We ask you to raise a minimum amount of sponsorship money in order for you to jump for free:
-
Tandem Skydive: £395
-
Static Line: £360
-
Accelerated Freefall: £535
10,000 ft Freefall Parachute Jumping! What's it like?
Imagine standing at the edge of an open doorway in an aircraft flying at 10,000 feet - the noise of the engines and the wind ringing in your ears with only the outline of distant fields below. Now imagine leaning forward out of that doorway and letting go - falling forward into the clouds, diving down through the air as you start freefalling at over 120mph! Then imagine the peace and quiet as the canopy opens, the steering toggles come down either side of you and you begin a tranquil parachute descent from a mile up in the air, steering yourself back down to the centre of the drop zone below. Well you can stop imagining because it's real and you can do this for FREE whilst helping a worthwhile charity!
